| The '''Deku Toad''' is the mini-boss of the [[Lakebed Temple]] in {{TP}}. The Deku Toad is initially clinging to the ceiling, and begins the fight by dropping down to the floor and shaking off several [[Toado]] eggs from it back. Like most small swarming enemies in ''Twilight Princess'', the hatchling Toados can be dealt with efficiently using the [[Spin Attack]].

| ==Strategy== | |
| [[File:frogtongue.jpg|thumb|left|The toad's vulnerable tongue]]
| |
| The Deku Toad's attack pattern is to jump to the ceiling, attempt to fall down on Link, and shake off more Toado eggs. If Link can roll out of the way in time to avoid being crushed, it can be stunned momentarily, allowing Link to strike its exposed tongue. Following this, if Link can manage to shoot a [[bomb arrow]] into its mouth, it remains stunned again, exposing its tongue once more. Otherwise it continues its attack pattern. After several hits to its tongue, the Deku Toad remains destroyed, but not before coughing up a chest containing the [[Clawshot]]. It is also possible to perform the ending blow while Z/L-targeting the tongue. This is a rare occurrence, and for best results, it is recommended to only do Z/L-targeted jump attacks (as the controls for both the [[Ending Blow]] and the jump attack are the same). If successfully performed, the battle will end after the Ending Blow, and the chest will still appear as normally.

| The Deku Toad appears to be a giant version of the [[Toadpoli]] enemies, which bears similarities with [[Octorok]]s from previous games. The Toado could therefore be the tadpole stage of the Toadpoli.
| | Deku Toad begins the fight by dropping down to the floor and shaking off several [[Toado]] eggs from its back, which can be defeated with the [[Sword]]. Deku Toad's attack pattern is to jump to the ceiling, attempt to fall down on [[Link]], and shake off more Toado eggs. If Link rolls out of the way in time to avoid being crushed, Deku Toad gets [[Critical Point|stunned momentarily]], allowing Link to strike its [[Weak Point|exposed tongue]]. Link can also throw a [[Bomb]] at its mouth whenever Deku Toad opens it. Alternatively, Link can also shoot [[Bomb Arrow]]s at its opened mouth. |
|
| |
|
| The Deku Toad is similar to the "real-world" [[Wikipedia:Surinam toad|Surinam Toad]] as they both carry their eggs on their back.
| | After enough damage is dealt, Deku Toad will regurgitate a [[Treasure Chest]] containing the [[Clawshot]] before perishing. |

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *The Deku Toad bears some similarity in the way it acts to [[Arrghus#Wart|Wart]], a mini-boss in the [[Great Bay Temple]]. Like Wart, it has many eye-like objects on its body (though these are actually its eggs), but not nearly as many as Wart did. It also starts the battle on the ceiling, like Wart. | | *Deku Toad, along with [[Ook]], are the only mini-bosses in {{TP|-}} to have their own battle music. All other mini-bosses share the same battle music, with the exception of [[Death Sword]] and [[Phantom Zant]], who share a unique battle music. |
| *Like [[Molgera]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', its weak spot is its tongue.
| | *Deku Toad may be based on the {{Wp|Surinam Toad}}, as they both carry their eggs on their back. |
| *[[Midna]] is repulsed by the Deku Toad and, as such, does not wish to take part in the battle.<ref>{{Cite|Ughh... It's creepy... I can't stand pimply things like this... This one's all yours!|Midna|TP}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|I told you this one's all yours! Stop calling me! That thing's gross!|Midna|TP}}</ref>

| *Despite its name, the Deku Toad has no warts.
| | ==Nomenclature== |
| *The Deku Toad, along with [[Ook]], are the only mini-bosses in ''Twilight Princess'' to have their own battle music. All other mini-bosses share the same battle music (with the exception of [[Death Sword]] and [[Phantom Zant]], who share a unique battle music).
| | Deku Toad's Japanese name translates to "Big Toad." The prefix "Deku" might be a mistranslation, as [[Deku]] in {{TLoZ|Series}} is often associated with plant-related characters and enemies. |
| *It is unknown why it has the prefix "Deku" in its name, considering that the [[Deku]] are a plant-like race in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]]. It is likely to be a mistranslation, as the original Japanese name is ''Degu'' Toad (Big Toad). | | {{Nomenclature}} |
